includes Hollywood Gold, the legendary sire
whose line produced Hollywood Dun It.
Leo appears three times through
Chex Golden Bar. Leo is the sire of Leo San;
the sire of Peppy San who sired Peppy San Badger,
the leading sire of cutting horses.
Stormy Indian is by Stormy
Lee by Leo. The dam of Stormy Indian is by Nugget
McCue S who was bred by Warren Shoemaker. Nugget
McCue S was a pretty palomino stallion that
was used in cutting and was just plain cowy.
Warren Shoemaker built his breeding program
on Coke Roberds’ and Hank Wiescamp built
on Warren Shoemaker's program. The dam of Stormy
Indian is Brush Papoose by Brush Mount who sired
Gold Mount. Gold Mount was out of Miss Helen
by Plaudit. Miss Helen was the dam of Skipper’s
Lad, sire of Skipa Star.
The dam of Brush Mount was
out of a grandaughter of Fred Litze who was
by Old Fred--more Coke Roberds breeding. Brush
Papoose was out of Indian Girl whose sire was
out of a daughter of Fred Litz. The maternal
granddam of Indian Girl was also a granddaughter
of Fred Litz. Holidoc Chex has many crosses
to Old Fred.
I am especially fond of King Fritz as he is
a line-bred stallion that sired very well. The
Chex horses were great cutting horses and working
cowhorses.
Bar A Lady was by Leo Hope
by Leo and out of a daughter by Skylark Bar
to Three Bars.
Sodak Star Gazer was by Baldy Pat Star by Pat
Star Jr. by Oklahoma Star Jr. by Oklahoma Star.
Oklahoma Star was a great sire of working horses
especially great rodeo horses. Pat Star Jr.
mares made Two Eyed Jack a great sire.
Sonny Dee Bar is a sire of World Champions at
halter and performance. He was one of the all-time
great sires in more recent times.
The top side of Holidoc Chex’s
pedigree contains many great cutting and working
horses. He is bred to be very cowy. The bottom
side of Holidoc Chex’s pedigree is very
good for pretty heads, balance and conformation.
